Purchased at West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago, IL; enjoyed while at my practice space listening to bandmates other band. Appearance is a very dark, murky brown with a thick off white head. Aroma is very malty, unique German lager yeast, dark fruit, nice and unique aroma. Taste is nice and good, happy to have tried it, not my typical style though.

Bottle at home. Apparently I don’t have an Eisbock rating. Ratebeer can be a funny old place. This should solve that problem. Pours toffee brown, with a black walnut hue. Nose is stewed fruit, some lager-yeast characteristics, lots of spice.. Flavours of leathery prunes berries tannin, spice, and that distinct taste of two unicorns fucking... Pretty tasty.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with a very thin beige head that sticks around. Heavy malt aroma of molasses. The first sip is overly sweet with a complex heavy mouthfeel. The initial sweetness seems to diminish after a few drinks. Excellent balance of malt and hops to bring out the maltiness. This beer is almost like a meal. Filling finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very dark in appearance, white small head. Smells of strong malt and molasses, with maybe a hint of something metallic. Tastes is thankfully not as sweet as the aroma. Pretty good balanced taste, malty, but not overly. Dark fruit on finish. Good, mildly carbonated taste. Pretty good.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
There is a reason why this is the second to last style I needed to try. I tried to be as objective as possible, but the sweet malt bocks, doppelbocks, and eisbocks are just not my thing, I really dont know how anyone can have more than two of these. A deep brown to black pour with almost no head. SWEET caramel malts with a hint of roasted flavor and licorice. no hops whatsoever. I can tell that it is a well crafted beer, but not my thing at all.

Bottled. Party rate. Dark dark color with amost no head. Aroma has intense notes of caramel and dark fruits, with huge booze. Taste very closely mirrors the aroma. Very very complex beer, but the drawback is the booze...but you have to expect that with an eisbock.
